What is the meaning of government-controlled church?

What is a state run by the church is called?

A state run by the church is called a theocracy. In a theocracy, religious leaders hold political power and influence government policies and decisions based on religious principles.


Can state governments involve themselves in the affairs of a religious group?

I will assume you are talking about States of the USA; the same answer might not apply to other countries of the world. The answer depends on the circumstances. If a group is breaking the law and happens to be a religious group, they are still breaking the law and are subject to law enforcement. An example would be a polygamist sect that forces underage girls into "spiritual marriages." On the other hand, a preacher can preach, and congregation members may believe, something that State officials or anyone else might consider nonsense. The above examples are straightforward, black-or-white issues. There are also gray areas where even legal experts may disagree on whether government restrictions are called for. For example, if a church uses its influence to essentially buy an election for its chosen candidate, is it still a church and entitled to tax-exempt status? Different people would have different answers to that.


Is a theocracy secular?

NO. A theocracy is a country that is directly ruled by either (1) a person who claims to be a god or (2) a person who claims to be able to determine the will of the gods. In this case, the religious authority is himself writing the laws of the country and enforcing them. A secular country is one in which religion and the state remain entirely separate from one another and do not interfere in each other's affairs.


What is the meaning of secularist?

A secularist is someone who believes in the separation of religion and state, advocating for a society where governmental decisions are made without influence from religious beliefs. They prioritize the importance of neutrality and equality in matters of governance and public policy.
